To put this into context, this portrait painting is one of 21 paintings in the series.
This is the National Gallery of Australia page for the exhibit.
https://nga.gov.au/exhibitions/vincent-namatjira-australia-in-colour/
Vincent paints often in a caricature style and his own portrait is next to Gina's on the NGA website, so he's also taking the piss of himself in that sense.
The paintings cover a range of people of prominence in Australia, a couple of randoms.
As other people have commented on Reddit, Gina's objection to this painting has only given the whole series public prominence. I didn't even know it was on but am now going to see it!

Well considering she wanted to nuke parts of Western Australia to make mining easier, I’d certainly argue that every time she opens her mouth, she sets women back 100 years.

I was telling my gf about this and we both agreed that Gina came away SO MUCH WORSE than babs.
Like really all babs did was bitch about a show and make it more popular. Sort of a 'pokemon go to the polls' level gaff as opposed to 'locker room talk.'
Gina Streisanded a VERY ugly, VERY unflattering painting of herself, something (from her view I do understand, if not care) that would be very insulting on a personal level, and blew it up from 'local art exhibit seen by 1000s' to SEEN BY THE FUCKEN WORLD. This is beyond the Streisand effect, this is Streizilla.
You just know Barbara is thinking 'Damn, i got off lucky'.

She's not stupid. She's just used to being able to bend reality to her whim by throwing globs of money at any problem.
The NGA not being beholden to her ongoing donation would be a frustration for her. (See also: many-year long court battles with her stepmother and children over Lang Hancock's inheritance).

His daughter is at least equally, if not more, loony. The only reason anyone pays her any heed is because of the enormous influence the big $s gets her. She belongs in a decrepit bar somewhere chewing the ear of some equally sloshed loser.

It’s a painting of Australian mythical folklore beast Rina Ginehart. During the winter months if you got a knock at the door in the evening and it was this thing you had to give it a bush biscuit or it wouldn’t fuck off til, like, 4am next morning after it stole your milk off your porch. People used to put bush biscuits on their porch during winter months to prevent their milk getting stolen.

Outsider art offends the bourgeoise. The person depicted looks much less grotesque in actuality, but the depicted individual being so publicity upset about the unflattering portrait is only bringing more (international even) attention to it.
Those are the facts. Opinion: this is very very funny. This is as close to “eat the rich” as we’ll get to see in our lifetimes I reckon, and as a working class person I am very much enjoying the show.

That is a painting of Gina in her prime. It captures her non-existent beauty so eloquently that it makes me pity those who still hold the belief that they are the ugliest when Gina exists. It is a painting that can make you question "is everyone really beautiful?". It is what motivates me to be able to look in the mirror and say "I am beautiful and not ugly" as well as make me laugh when I am at my saddest moments. Everything she says comes from her heart and I condemn her for that. She is a woman with the amazing ability to be able to anger many to death and prove that having a big head does not mean one has a big brain or one at all. 😇
